Summary Summary

The following summary is from Orphanet, a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs.

Orpha Number: 254516

Definition

Temple syndrome is a rare, genetic disease characterized by pre-and postnatal growth delay, feeding difficulties, muscular hypotonia, motor developmental delay (with or without mild intellectual disability) and mild facial dysmorphism, such as broad, prominent forehead, short nose with flat nasal root and wide tip, downturned corners of mouth, high-arched palate and micrognathia. Additonal features include childhood-onset central obesity, premature puberty and variable bone abnormalities (e.g. small hands and feet, dolichospondyly, slender long bones and craniofacial disproportion).

Symptoms Symptoms

This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have. For most diseases, symptoms will vary from person to person. People with the same disease may not have all the symptoms listed. This information comes from a database called the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) . The HPO collects information on symptoms that have been described in medical resources. The HPO is updated regularly. Use the HPO ID to access more in-depth information about a symptom.
